Do GIU detectives need any equipment?
In addition to the normal equipment carried by uniform officers (pistol, handcuffs, pepper spray, flashlight), GIU detectives are frequently equipped with unmarked vehicles, voice and video recorders, digital cameras, surveillance gear like night scopes, special kits for the collection of DNA evidence, bolt cutters and tools like ultra-violet lights to use in executing search warrants, and items like paper clothing to give to criminals after detectives seize their clothing as evidence.
